Camera Strap Cover And Lens Cap Pouch

Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease®

GAUGE:

Approximately 12 sts and 16 rows over 4 inches (10.2cm) of single crochet

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

This camera strap cover and pouch were made to fit the strap of the Canon 30D DSLR camera that measures 11/2 x 26 inches (3.8 x 66cm). Depending on the measurements of your camera strap, you may need to adjust the number of chain stitches you begin with, and the number of rows worked.

Sandwich the camera strap between the pouch and back loop. Place the loop on the back side of the pouch so that the short sides of the loop align with the short sides of the pouch, and the long sides of the loop are centered across the long sides of the pouch. Taking care not to sew through the camera strap, use tails to sew the long sides of the loop to the pouch (fig. D).
